Extreme Futurist Festival 2011

Picture an event where the bridge between the counterculture and academia is finally crossed. From live tech demonstrations to futuristic presentations to provocative performance art to live music we will take you off the grid as we explore a new kaleidoscopic wonderland. If the original Burning Man was to meet the Singularity Summit, you would have Extreme Futurist Fest 2011.

The dance for the realization of the future begins in the corridors of art, literature, and culture. Only by connecting together the greatest visionary minds with the most innovative and rule-breaking forms of artistic expression and cultural mind-melding can we unlock the full potential of the Future and bring it into the Present. We offer you the bold new interdisciplinary movement of the 21st Century. A place where the right brain and left brain merge into a new “Undivided Mind”.

The future is all around us today. The explosion of the Internet and powerful mobile devices have transformed life in fundamental ways for billions of people. We need to increase our efforts to open source technology so that it becomes available to the billions who lack it. We must push the envelope of the latest p2p technology to enable new applications which bring us closer together as a society. We want a future-friendly culture that embraces technology and understands that technological innovation plays a central role in solving the world’s most persistent problems.

We encourage a new generation of thinkers who understand that fun and learning are not mutually exclusive and that the most complex topics can be grasped if there is enough curiosity, wonder, and enthusiasm for learning. Labs, companies, and startups around the world are making startling steps forward in the fields of nanotechnology, robotics, brain-computer interfacing, 3D printing, materials science, wearable computing, life extension, social networking, and more. We must understand these advances so that we can ensure that they benefit as many people as possible.

Join us for a profound exploration of what it means to be human. A first-hand look into the genesis of a powerful new intellectual and expressive culture.

In the video above Rachel Haywire talks about her ideas for the Extreme Futurist Festival and what she hopes to accomplish with this new event that takes place in Los Angeles on the 16th and 17th of December. Her dream of bringing the intellectual and artistic communities together in which the best minds of science, technology, and alt-culture unite was brought into reality through working with Michael Anissimov of the Singularity Institute. After working on the Singularity Summit Michael decided to give XFF his attention due to having a similar vision for Transhumanism.

Transforming the barriers between underground and mainstream the organizers of Extreme Futurist Festival are excited about the first year of their event. The festival will feature speakers, artists, bands, and performers ranging from Natasha Vita-More (Chairwoman of Humanity+) to Hanin Elias. (founding member of Atari Teenage Riot) Vendors include RE/Search Publications and comic artist Zac Finger.

In the video Rachel also reads some of her writing from the Disinformation book Generation Hex and discusses how it applies to the event. Tickets are on sale now.

This event gives transhumanism a bad name by grafting “goth” and the occult onto what should be a rational premise. The speakers are sub par, the music will be horrible goth electronic noise. This is not transhumanism, this is bullshit. And the idiot Rachel ‘Haywire’ Mendelson has a _horrible_ reputation in the industrial music community. This event is the enemy of relevance.

Electric Hellfire Club / Terrorfakt Responds To Nazi Allegations by

Rachel ‘Haywire’ Mendelson

posted May 18, 2010 at 12:44 PM by xFiruath. (1 Comment)

Wilhelm Curse of The Electric Hellfire Club has checked in with the
following statement about allegations that Terrofakt band mate Ben
DeWalt is involved with Nazism:

“For any of the fans of the EHC who are into rhythmic noise and
hard industrial; some of you may have heard the escalating rumor
that Ben DeWalt, my friend, co-conspirator, and the founder of
Terrofakt, is a Nazi. This could not be further from the truth. Ben
has been our close friend for nearly 15 years, and we know that he
is anything but a white supremacist. For the last few years I have
had the privilege to play with Ben, as a member of Terrorfakt.
During this time, I have come to know Ben much better than I ever
did during the years that he represented the EHC. He is my close
friend, and comrade in arms. He is a proud patriotic American, who
firmly believes in the values that this great nation was founded
on… among those being that all of us are created equal.

“My time with Terrorfakt has introduced me to many other associated
acts and musicians, and to Terrorfakt’s fanatically loyal fan base,
all being of various ethnic and even religious backgrounds.
Accordingly, I can categorically deny that any of these accusations
have any merit to them. This smear campaign against Ben is
perpetuated by an Industrial music outcast named Rachel Mandelson.
She is more ‘popularly’ known as the idiot behind ‘Experiment
Haywire.’ She is an individual who has failed to garner any success
on her own, and has taken to making slanderous and libelous
accusations against a much more popular and successful act, in
order to gain attention for herself.

“Her entire issue with Terrorfakt stems from Ben’s refusal to
peddle her merch at a music festival that she gained illegal entry
to, thereby denying the performing bands (and promoter) their just
compensation. She blames everyone but herself for her failure as a
musician, and claiming that Ben has ruined her ‘career’ because of
her Jewish heritage is her way of trying to garner sympathy through
portraying herself as a victim, rather that simply a failure. I
have long been a believer in the old show business saying of ‘There
is no such thing as bad press,’ and to automatically confirm any
rumor told about me (or the EHC) as being true. However, Ben finds
the contention of his being a Nazi to be offensive, and clearing
his name is of personal importance to him. To that end, I have felt
the need to address the issue publicly, and to support my friend. I
ask you, our fans, to help put a stop to this rumor, by correcting
anyone that you hear repeating it, and to not support Rachel
Mandelson or Experiment Haywire in any way.”

Kinetik Productions wishes to bring to your attention the
continual attack from Ms. Haywire against the Kinetik Festival and
Kinetik Productions company image. Over the past 3 years, we have
asked several websites to remove her harmful and derogative
comments concerning the Kinetik Festival and the musical acts
present during the festival.

Unfortunately, she had made a personal business to attack the
festival and some bands performing during Kinetik festival, without
investigating the alleged facts. She tried to put down the festival
based on her statements. The severity and frequency of her false
allegations gives us no choice but to warn you against Ms Rachel
Haywire.

For the past three years, we had to get in touch with Ms
Haywire in order to ask her to stop these repeated, intrusive and
unwanted words, intended to adversely affect the reputation of the
bands and the Kinetik festival. She, unfortunately, neglected to
answer our demands and continued attacking the festival and its
acts.

The Kinetik festival mission is to cultivate originality,
innovation and diversity in the musical performance arena. During
this event, several emerging and well-established artists gather in
Montreal to celebrate. We have worked hard to bring together this
dream and cannot tolerate Ms Haywire incessant and derogatory
comments.

The Festival past editions have shown the audience, the
industry and the musicians how professional, distinguish and well
organized the festival is. In collaboration with the major labels,
production companies and bands, Kinetik Festival is pleased to
bring together the largest North American electro-Industrial
festival.

With this letter, we wish to raise the concern and bring to
your attention this abnormal situation, as some of you may have
worked in collaboration with Ms. Haywire in the past.

In many occasion, Ms Haywise made disparaging comments
concerning the Kinetik Festival and among other, the band
Terrorfakt. Erroneously giving them a Neo-Nazi / white power
denominate. She opened numerous website and posted several comments
in order to gain some visibility and credibility with these
disparaging remarks and trying to affect the festival.

Being officially recognized by the Canadian government and
other governmental institutions, we cannot, under any circumstance,
endorse this form of harassment. We trust that you will take
similar action and no longer work with her on any level.

*Please feel free to forward this to anyone that may find it
interesting and beneficial.

Len I have noticed that people with chemical imbalances tend to

Ironically she came up in conversation just a few says before
this most recent spontaneous combustion and I remarked that she was
in some ways admirable. THIS nonsense is just a level of
unnecessary crazy and I think she has done irreparable damage this
time. I wish she could have funneled her energy more productively.

It is rather tragic.

This is some hipster revolution? Psuedo-intellectuals are able to pollute the airways as if they were rebels who breach our placid society with their ‘ostentatious yet progressive” complexities. There may be a slow adaptation towards human relevance to our developed mental capabilities but we are less ignorant to the advances of technology and more busy with the ability to incessantly work than displayed by Rachel Haywire’s words. There is nothing wrong or corrupt that I’m complaining about here here other than the grammar(hahaha troll…) and this being approximately an over-the-top 420 friendly college presentation for a sociology class.

Rachel ‘Haywire’ Mendelson is exactly as stylish and far less interesting than a fresh turd.

This event is total bullshit, and it was founded by a bullshit
artist, thief and serial lying scumbag Rachel ‘Haywire’ Mendelson, who
has the worst reputation imaginable to lying and systematic harassment
in the industrial music community that completely rejected her.

This event is only 1 centimeter away in importance from any old Star
Trek or Comic Book Con, and it is comprised of and serves fantasy and
the dorks/nerds/goths who have no other frame of reference but fantasy.

“Energy Through Crystals”? That is exactly the kind of bullshit the
atheistic and rational majority of Singulatarians REJECT VEHEMENTLY.

You paid 100$ to attend this nonsense? You should have bought
yourself food. You wasted your time and money, this event is
bourgeoisie, elitist and Ayn Rand Objectivist Libertarian to its core.

also, all the music and art with one sole exception was performed by
unknown amateurs, friends of Rachel Haywire. And it was all juvenile
and childish, with nothing of substance to it at all. And performed w/o
even a stage! in a crappy little conference room with people sitting
in chairs! I left and came back for Hanin Elias, but she is tired and
worn out, stale now in her latter day state. This whole event was only
the Extreme Future of 1992. Cyberpunk is bullshit and these people
responsible for this non-event are complete bullshit artists, the sole
medium in which they excel At All.

Haywire.’ She is an individual who has failed to garner any success
on her own, and has taken to making slanderous and libelous
accusations against a much more popular and successful act, in
order to gain attention for herself.

“Her entire issue with Terrorfakt stems from Ben’s refusal to
peddle her merch at a music festival that she gained illegal entry
to, thereby denying the performing bands (and promoter) their just
compensation. She blames everyone but herself for her failure as a
musician, and claiming that Ben has ruined her ‘career’ because of
her Jewish heritage is her way of trying to garner sympathy through
portraying herself as a victim, rather that simply a failure. I
have long been a believer in the old show business saying of ‘There
is no such thing as bad press,’ and to automatically confirm any
rumor told about me (or the EHC) as being true. However, Ben finds
the contention of his being a Nazi to be offensive, and clearing
his name is of personal importance to him. To that end, I have felt
the need to address the issue publicly, and to support my friend. I
ask you, our fans, to help put a stop to this rumor, by correcting
anyone that you hear repeating it, and to not support Rachel
Mandelson or Experiment Haywire in any way.”

Kinetik Productions wishes to bring to your attention the
continual attack from Ms. Haywire against the Kinetik Festival and
Kinetik Productions company image. Over the past 3 years, we have
asked several websites to remove her harmful and derogative
comments concerning the Kinetik Festival and the musical acts
present during the festival.

Unfortunately, she had made a personal business to attack the
festival and some bands performing during Kinetik festival, without
investigating the alleged facts. She tried to put down the festival
based on her statements. The severity and frequency of her false
allegations gives us no choice but to warn you against Ms Rachel
Haywire.

For the past three years, we had to get in touch with Ms
Haywire in order to ask her to stop these repeated, intrusive and
unwanted words, intended to adversely affect the reputation of the
bands and the Kinetik festival. She, unfortunately, neglected to
answer our demands and continued attacking the festival and its
acts.

The Kinetik festival mission is to cultivate originality,
innovation and diversity in the musical performance arena. During
this event, several emerging and well-established artists gather in
Montreal to celebrate. We have worked hard to bring together this
dream and cannot tolerate Ms Haywire incessant and derogatory
comments.

The Festival past editions have shown the audience, the
industry and the musicians how professional, distinguish and well
organized the festival is. In collaboration with the major labels,
production companies and bands, Kinetik Festival is pleased to
bring together the largest North American electro-Industrial
festival.

With this letter, we wish to raise the concern and bring to
your attention this abnormal situation, as some of you may have
worked in collaboration with Ms. Haywire in the past.

In many occasion, Ms Haywise made disparaging comments
concerning the Kinetik Festival and among other, the band
Terrorfakt. Erroneously giving them a Neo-Nazi / white power
denominate. She opened numerous website and posted several comments
in order to gain some visibility and credibility with these
disparaging remarks and trying to affect the festival.

Being officially recognized by the Canadian government and
other governmental institutions, we cannot, under any circumstance,
endorse this form of harassment. We trust that you will take
similar action and no longer work with her on any level.

That not just your opinion Kent she has been pretty vocal about
her “issues” on her personal page.

Len I have noticed that people with chemical imbalances tend to
peak seasonally in the spring and fall. I am not sure why (?)

Ironically she came up in conversation just a few says before
this most recent spontaneous combustion and I remarked that she was
in some ways admirable. THIS nonsense is just a level of
unnecessary crazy and I think she has done irreparable damage this
time. I wish she could have funneled her energy more productively.

Wilhelm Curse of The Electric Hellfire Club has checked in with the
following statement about allegations that Terrofakt band mate Ben
DeWalt is involved with Nazism:

“For any of the fans of the EHC who are into rhythmic noise and
hard industrial; some of you may have heard the escalating rumor
that Ben DeWalt, my friend, co-conspirator, and the founder of
Terrofakt, is a Nazi. This could not be further from the truth. Ben
has been our close friend for nearly 15 years, and we know that he
is anything but a white supremacist. For the last few years I have
had the privilege to play with Ben, as a member of Terrorfakt.
During this time, I have come to know Ben much better than I ever
did during the years that he represented the EHC. He is my close
friend, and comrade in arms. He is a proud patriotic American, who
firmly believes in the values that this great nation was founded
on… among those being that all of us are created equal.

“My time with Terrorfakt has introduced me to many other associated
acts and musicians, and to Terrorfakt’s fanatically loyal fan base,
all being of various ethnic and even religious backgrounds.
Accordingly, I can categorically deny that any of these accusations
have any merit to them. This smear campaign against Ben is
perpetuated by an Industrial music outcast named Rachel Mandelson.
She is more ‘popularly’ known as the idiot behind ‘Experiment
